I’m glad to hear Trudeau say Canada is worth fighting for. Prior to the recent US election he’s been beating the DEI and down with the evil west drum for the last decade. What specific Canadian/western values in your opinion are worth fighting for Trudeau?

I buy a lot from Canada. It’s True Trump doesn’t know how a tariff works. I’m already getting the emails that prices are going up from my distributors.

Donald Trump has been compromised, he has been bought and paid for by Putin the Russian empire. He has no business being in the oval office let's start the impeachment process now. Donald Trump is cashing in on the American presidency with Russia. I'm sure we'll find out down the road that he's been taking payoffs from the Russian government for a long time. I'm sure Putin's got plenty of dirt on Donnie.

And I'm embarrassed to be an American where we pretend we're free ?

As an American I can't believe that I'm supposed to accept what Trump is doing!

Correct me if I’m wrong, but Trump is just putting the same tariffs on them that they already put on us.\nStop those drugs from coming across

I’m not picking sides, just genuinely curious what is it that we import from Canada?

He’s such a bad man I’m so embarrassed to be Canadian

Same problems with Africa, Puerto Rico and Nicaragua if it keeps up and I can’t get a job in this country and earn a living wage, or a job that accompanies my need for pet friendly work I think I’m gonna have a mental health issue. I might need to move to Nashville, Tennessee.

I’m an American and I stand with Canada, and all our former allies! I’m so sorry and embarrassed to be American right now

I’m not interested in hearing your commentary, I wan to listen to Prime Minister

I say this to all Americans, t***p goes on and on about President McKinley as he used Tariffs on behalf of the US . Does he not realize McKinley was assassinated? McKinley was a nut job as well. I'm so sorry Canada for this childish rhetoric coming from our idiots in thief.

I love Justin !!! He is amazing!!! We will miss him,.\nThank you M .Trudeau ❤️??so proud of our leader ??????

I love Justin !!! He is amazing!!! We will miss him,.\nThank you M .Trudeau ❤️??

I'm with you Canada from Texas

I’m Canadian, and we hate him. Trump is going to make him his b1 tch

I'm with canada

I’m sorry our president is a dickhead!! It’s not the USA but him…I stand in solidarity with you!

The rare time I have seen Canadians upset and it took a lot for them to get there because when he says that they are nice, he is not lying. I’m appalled by this!?

I'm a new zealander & I feel like Canada & new Zealand people are very similar, stay strong Canadian homies

To the people of Canada, I'm sorry. We appreciate you and understand any measures you take. There are still people of reason and integrity here.

Excellent speech coming from a man I don't particularly like. I feel a sense of strength, pride and resilience, and I'm neither American nor Canadian.

As an American I'm rooting for Canada. My job relies on Canadian imports. I don't want to lose my job but I want Canada to not give in to us.

I'm definitely not a fan of Trudeau but easily this is his best moment as our prime minister

Justin Trudeau is a class act. Period. DJT , JDV, and DOGELON are small minded and extremely petty people(?). Reveling in the misery of others. Unacceptable. I stand with Canada and I'm not alone. A majority of my fellow Americans are in this fight with our neighbors to the north.???

I'm a US Military Veteran; they've ripped up 10 million contracts we had with our government for our medical, we support you 100% and we do not blame you for wanting to fight the Russians in the White House.

Our closest friends(I’m mean we love Canadians) but our friends don’t facilitate China chemically attacking our citizens with fentanyl. This is 3rd grade basic buds 101.

I'm with you, from Oklahoma, Canada and Ukraine!!!

You mean Justin Trudeau‘s response not Canadians and certainly not mine. This is an underhanded way of taxing the people nothing more. Levy and tariffs against the United States in retaliation has little to no effect in a positive way but it will hurt Canadians in a big way Even more than Trump‘s tariffs will have you forgotten that our current trade deal that Trump hates so much was actually created and signed into love by him? Poilivre won’t help us either. I can pretty much guarantee you he’ll out the same way as Trudeau but he will throw you a bone in here and there and no, I am by no means liberal. I’m not conservative. I’m not NDP. I am a free singer. I am a Canadian and I am tired of politicians, bullshit lie cheat, steal. It’s all they know.

I'm with you Canada!!! I wish I could live there!!!!I'm soooooo sorry!!! ?

This is Temporary....GOD is Real...just watch and see...❤❤shout out Canada ?? I'm in Bklyn Nyc..We share 1 sky ...

We don’t want this either! It’s the idiot that was elected by the dumbasses that reside in the United States. I’m sorry.

As an American tariff china absolutely tariff Mexico sure but tariff Canada I’m not so sure about that. Canada is a critical trading partner. Trump is obsessed with trade deficits. Canada is a country rich in resources with the population of California. They have a lot to offer but a small buying power there’s obviously going to be a trade deficit. Idk I hope this all works out

As a Canadian I'm embarrassed to see anyone supporting this PM now after all the bullshit he's put us through in the last 8 years. It's sad to see you've all been vaccinated into idiocracy!

We have a corrupt government that has full responsibility for the Shit Show.Our corrupt government has been a corrupt government since the beginning of America and it's time for them to be exposed and I'm here to do just that. I'm Victim of District Supreme Court of Kansas and Government, Google Irene Pacheco vs State of Kansas, the only Mexican American in history who took the State of Kansas to the District Supreme Court of Kansas the District Supreme Court of Kansas: Violated my right to sue my employer the EEOC gave me, the Federal Judge signed a Pretrial Judgment for 100K, lost wages and the return of the lower paying job I worked for to support my 2 daughters, Falsified Federal Documents Tampered with Federal Records Deformation of Character Mental Anguish, Obstruction of Justice, Bias, Abuse of Power, Denied a hearing, Not informed that my case was moving on to the District Supreme Court of Kansas. The corrupt government underestimates the intelligence of the American citizens and I made history due to their corruption, I'm here to be their worst nightmare. The corrupt government is corrupt on all levels.

Trudeau is such a bum. I don’t necessarily agree with this trade war but I’m also not against an America first approach.

I'm American and yes this will affect me but I honestly hope that Canada brings this country and Maga to its knees!!! I want the pain to be so great that's is never forgotten. If there was anyway I could help Canada I would! Let them feel the consequences of their choices.

As an American I think I’m right to say most of us are on Canadas side. Glad to finally see a great leader like Trudeau call Trump “dumb “!

I’m an American and I stand with trump

As an American living in America, Even I'm thinking being friends with the US is like having a pet bear... If we go rabid, do You have the ability to handle it? The way things are going, it's something to seriously consider.

I'm sorry but how are we able to implement all that border control measures with such a short amount of time to catch teeny tiny grams of Fentanyl but we can't stop the truckloads of stolen cars from leaving our borders? Can you make this make sense too?

Trudeau, my brother, My words cannot begin to express to you or your people just how genuinely sorry I am for my country's utterly repulsive and inexcusable behavior throughout the last month and a half and for the downright cruel, hostile treatment you've suffered at the hands of the most incompetent, greedy, poorly educated, narcissistic, racist, sexist, xenophobic buffoon to ever preside over the United States. Not only is Donald Trump an overly privileged, pathetic, whiney crybaby who literally folds his arms, stomps his feet, and launches an all out temper tantrum whenever he doesn't get his way or when someone else has the TV remote, he is a dangerously delusional, high stakes risk taker who wouldn't think twice about using his own mother or child as a human body shield if he thought his life were in danger. There is absolutely no value, principle, moral or ethic he wouldn't betray without hesitation if he suspects there is anything at all to be gained - you know, the type of guy who would poison the entire neighborhood in order to hoard all the complimentary tampons and lip gloss samples from his neighbors' mail boxes just to ensure that he got first dibs on everything before anyone else. Incidentally, he is also the same type of guy who pockets all the flavored mini coffee creamers from the gas station and all the paper bed sheets and Qtips from the doctor's office. I wouldn't put it past him to steal the waitresses' tips off tabletops on his way out the door upon leaving McDonald's. In fact, I would bet everything that he steals the donation jars for Jerry's Kids at the local supermarket. I mean, its already a given that he is likely the guy who filed a lawsuit a few summers back against a sweet, innocent littls FOUR year old boy for having a lemonade stand on property not zoned for commercial use. If it wasn't Trump then I'm sure it's only because he was too busy ordering the National Guard to power hose and pepper spray the 30 or so elderly nuns who had been distributing bottled water to folks demonstrating in support of Black Lives Matter on the hottest day of the year. Satisfied in his victorious battle against the nuns - 9 of whom had been hospitalized for critical injuries including the 92 year old Mother Superior who suffered massive brain bleed, swelling and concussion due to the excessive force of the power hose and an 87 year old nun who lost permanent sight in one eye due to the pepper spray - Trump had the nerve to pose for a publicity shot in front of the church while holding a Bible - UPSIDE DOWN - and scrunching and contorting his face into that hideous trademark scowl he does ever so naturally. Yep. This is the man my fellow Americans chose to represent our nation as President - a man who beats up 90 year old nuns and imposes 25% tax hikes to our ONLY FRIEND in the entire world simply for refusing to accept his invitation for statehood. I mean, come on, Trudeau, is that really asking too much of you? Was it really worth bruising Donny's fragile little ego and sending him into a fit of rage? (Seriously, though, I suspect he really does feel as though you are in the wrong for refusing to humor his delusions and thus embarrassing him in front of all his Russian dictator and Ku Klux Klan buddies.)\nOnce again, I do humbly apologize and I promise I will support whatever actions you choose to take and I will help you in any way you deem is best. \nMuch love and peace always, \nMs. S. Delois Jackson

The Orange Goblin doesn’t speak for me. I’m an American standing with Canada!

Yeah I’m sorry but he calls for Trump to be civil and calls him dumb and calls him Donald? Canada is about to see fun times.

I’m us citizen, I’m with Canada \t!

First: sorry for my bad english. It is not my First language. \n\nThis speech was remarkable. No lies, no BS, just the facts. Wish we would here the same out of the White House. \n\nAs a german who knows about german history and how everything started back then I'm terrified how fast the United States of America are moving towards a dictatorship.\n\nEvery politician around the free world should be worried about what is going to happen if DT keeps doing what he is doing, which is undermining every treaty and contract the US is having with the rest of the world.\n\nAnd on a personal note: as a child I always dreamed of someday moving to the USA. After beeing there on holiday in 2017 and also driving to Canada to visit some friends, that dream changed.\n\nDon't get me wrong, I still love your country, but you elected the worst President for the second time! WHY??? You could have known what it would be like, everything was reported on by this network and many others.\n\nAs one commentator said: this is not going to end well. And I and most of Europe and the rest of the world are thinking the same and we are afraid of the things to come.

I'm sorry to break the news to everybody, but if we end up in world war III we need russia on our side. Plain and simple. NO OTHER WAY AROUND IT.

As a Canadian, I’m loving this comment section. It’s a reminder that there are still a lot of nice people in the world.

Love you Canada. I'm an American and I hate what's happening

I’m Canadian and this fantasy socks guy doesn’t represent me.
